Grace Of God Beautifies You!

‘And of His fullness we have all received, grace for grace.  For the Law was given through Moses, but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ’ ( John 1:16-17).

We are saved by Grace and through faith.  Grace of God is more than ‘unmerited favor’.  About Jesus we read in the Gospel Book of Luke 2:52, ‘Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.’  Understanding what ‘Grace’ is very important.  Paul used this Word ‘Grace’ in His letters to the saints; to greet and end the letter by ‘the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all’. Amen. 

Grace brings acceptability in our life.  We are accepted by God as we are.  This Grace brings acceptability where we were once rejected.  Grace manifests in the times of challenges and sustains us.  Grace brings divine favors in our lives. As a child of God we are born with divine favor.  Whether it is your interview or getting a contract, this Grace brings favor in your way.  Grace brings promotion!  We may not be qualified but Grace elevates you where in the natural you can never attain or achieve that position.  Grace works beyond human comprehensions!

Paul wrote in 1 Cor 15:10, ‘but by Grace of God I am what I am, and His Grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, YET NOT I, BUT THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH WAS WITH ME.’   He related ‘Grace’ as : ‘by Grace’, ‘Grace toward him’  ‘Grace which was with him.  We understood from his writings that he had deeper insights in the things of God.  He understood what Grace is and grew in the knowledge of Grace and took advantage of that Grace in his daily life.  He realized the power of Grace that enabled him to labor more abundantly than others.  That made him outstanding from other apostles and believers.

Peter in his epistle wrote in 2 Peter 3:18, ‘..grow in Grace’.  Grow in the knowledge of the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ which works towards you and by its power you live everyday.  Grace enables you to do what you can not do in the natural.  Walk in this consciousness everyday.  Grace has come and we are the product of His Grace.  His Grace is sufficient for us!  Grace is not a word you quote as a formula in your prayer, but relate with it and walk in the revelation knowledge of its power working in you. Grace enables you to flow and glow! Grace relieves you from struggles and whining! Grace beautifies you and makes you unique among the crowd!  Let us grow in the knowledge of this Grace! Grace is the Person Jesus Christ Himself and it is one of His Virtue!

Pray with me:

Dear Heavenly Father, We thank You for Your Grace.  We are where we are by Your Grace.  Help us grow in the knowledge of Your Grace everyday and walk in the consciousness of its power working in us and through us.  We are highly favored, accepted and enjoy the blessings of Grace for we have received grace for grace of Your fullness. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
